SUSTAINABLE ADAPTATION FOR CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE BUILDINGS

The concept of sustainable adaptation is used as a means of dealing with aging buildings and the possibility of exploiting existing vacant buildings and reusing them through possible strategies to deal with aging buildings. Hence the general problem of research in (the complete lack of knowledge of the impact of sustainable adaptation in contemporary architecture buildings), and a research problem represented by (the lack of knowledge about a method that demonstrates the impact of sustainable adaptation mechanisms on the building to reach sustainable adaptive buildings in contemporary architecture), in order to reach the aim of the research in (building a theoretical framework on the concepts of sustainable adaptation in the obsolete building in contemporary architecture and the mechanisms for achieving it to reach a sustainable architecture using the perspective of energy efficiency and natural resources consumption), where the research assumed that (the possibility of achieving sustainable adaptation by achieving sustainability and continuity in the life of the building, and the sustainability is enhanced through the application of sustainable adaptation mechanisms for obsolete buildings in contemporary architecture), that the research design plan is using a selected sample of examples and the use of comparative analysis between them in the application Mechanisms of sustainable adaptation to reach a measurement ruler to test the research hypothesis and reach the final results and conclusions. Key words: Sustainable Adaptation, Obsolescence, Existing Building, Adaptation Mechanisms, Contemporary Architecture.
